Ingredients

Units Scale

For the chicken marinade

  • 3 chicken thighs, boneless, skin on
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp avocado oil

For the rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 thumb ginger, peeled and minced fine
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp green onion

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper in a bag or a shallow bowl. Top with coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and avocado oil. Transfer to the fridge for at least 20 minutes. You can also prep this a day ahead of time.
  2. Add the rice to the rice cooker (or a fine mesh strainer) and rinse until the water runs clean. Pour the chicken broth over the rice in the rice cooker. Add the garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper.
  3. Top the rice with the chicken thighs and marinade, making sure that the chicken is not overlapping. Top with green onion.
  4. Place the lid on the rice cooker and set to cook (varies per rice cooker, but it should be around 20 minutes).
  5. Once cooked, remove the lid and check the chicken for an internal temperature of 165 F. Fluff the rice and serve the chicken and rice together with a vegetable of your choice.
